ape-like creatures, which had differed as much, or nearly as much, from each other, as the Orang differs from the Gorilla, we it can hardly be doubted that marked difference in the structure of certain some of their bones would still have been discoverable in the races of man as they be now exists.

(one line open)

Although the present races of man differ in many respects, as in colour, hair, shape of skull, proportions of the body &c yet if their whole organisation be taken into consideration they manifestly resemble each other very closely in an infinitude a multitude of points. Many of these points are of so unimportant or of so singular a nature, that it is extremely improbable that they should have been independently acquired by aboriginally distinct species or distinct races.

The same remark holds good with equal or even greater force with respect to the numerous points of mental similarity in between the races of man.

[Descent 1: 231-2: "If the races of man were descended, as supposed by some naturalists, from two or more distinct species, which had differed as much, or nearly as much, from each other, as the orang differs from the gorilla, it can hardly be doubted that marked differences in the structure of certain bones would still have been discoverable in man as he now exists.
